The June 2026 Letter of Acceptances and Returns has been published. Here are the results for Calontir.

CALONTIR acceptances

Alexander Kirke. Name change from Rauðbjorn Ágeirsson.

The submitter’s prior name, Rauðbjorn Ágeirsson, is released.

Berakha bat Mira v’Shlomo. Badge. (Fieldless) A winged seal erect contourny vert.

Dýrfinna Tonnudóttir. Alternate name Dionisia Coke.

Submitted as Diot Coke, this name runs afoul of SENA PN2E – Obtrusive Modernity: Something is said to be obtrusively modern when it makes a modern joke or reference that destroys medieval ambience and drags the average person mentally back to the present day. Obtrusiveness can be either in the written form or when spoken. A period name that has a modern referent will not generally be considered obtrusively modern. Only extreme examples will be returned.

While this is a period name, and can be dated as such in its entirety to 1379, it sounds exactly like the modern brand name Diet Coke. Thus, this is an extreme case that would warrant a return. That said, the submitter also stated that they would accept the given names of Diota or Dionisia. The difference between Diot and Diota is, in our opinion, not sufficient to remove the obtrusive modernity, while Dionisia is. We have therefore changed this name to Dionisia Coke for registration.

Epodacus of Villa Frumentaria. Badge. Per fess vert and azure, a fess embattled Or, in base a horse rampant reguardant argent.

Nice cant on the prototheme Epo-, meaning horse.

Gordon MacGreghere. Name and device. Azure, a mullet Or, on a chief argent three lions passant gules.

While Gordon is the submitter’s legal given name, they need not rely on the Legal Name Allowance: FamilySearch Historical Records show that the given name can be found in England in the 16th century, and English and Scots are part of the same regional naming group.

Ishihara Atsuyori. Name.

Kjaran Hrœreksson. Alternate name Chiaro Zan Battocchio.

CALONTIR returns

Vercingetorix of the Treveri. Device. Per pale and chaussé vert and Or, a tree blasted and eradicated counterchanged.

This device is returned for conflict with the devices of Willow de Wisp, Per pale vert and Or, a weeping willow tree eradicated sable fimbriated Or, leaved counterchanged and David Wodeward atte Hethe Per pale vert and Or, a tree counterchanged. There is a single DC for the change to the field from per pale to per pale and chaussé, but per SENA A5F1b the lines of division are not substantially changed as both fields share the two-part per pale line of division.
